So I found out I was pregnant about a month ago, my husband and I were happy but due to issues in a previous pregnancy resulting in the loss of our baby we are stressed (and in the process of moving). Anyway a few weeks ago my dad and husband fell out over work, I say fell out it was ww3.
I want my dad to be happy for us because I do seek his approval but I just cant see him being thrilled... I cant bare to see his disappointment/anger face. Im not a child im mid 20s with a job and house and husband but my dad just doesnt seem happy about my life nd choices.
Maybe because him and my husband just dont see eye to eye... and now my husband is out of work. I feel like things are just a mess!

Didn't want to leave you unanswered. I am in the same position where I am extremely excited but also terrified about my dads reaction. I feel like that is putting a downer on looking forwards to things. The one thing that is keeping me positive is thinking that his reaction can't change the situation and also when I give birth he will fall in love with the child. Hope this helps you a tiny bit.

Your dad needs to realise your old enough to make yourt own life choices. He should see your happy! I hope it sorts itself out try not too stress about it x

Effs I feel we are in a similar situation, it doesnt help that iv been so ill with sickness and migraines iv hidden myself away for two weeks!
Hes a fab grandad to my step daughter, my husband and I have done it all before with her so I dont understand what the issue is! I know he wants to protect me but I am an adult!!

I am feeling so similar! I have been avoiding my Dad because I am worried he will figure it out before I am ready to tell anybody and I hope that's not upsetting him. I am also feeling very sick but can't tell anyone in c see they guess.

If you have a step daughter that he adores them he won't treat your child any differently. It might be a shock but his opinion won't change the situation.
